DESCRIPTION:This intermediate level course offers a hands-on introduction
  to creative approaches to doing qualitative research. The various stage
 s of research will be covered\, from data collection and analysis throug
 h to writing with qualitative data. We begin by introducing what we mean
  by doing qualitative research creatively\, before moving on to consider
  'Facet methodology'\, an inventive orientation to researching the multi
 dimensionality of everyday lives\, which puts the researcher’s creativit
 y and imagination at the heart of methodological practice. \n\nThe cours
 e also explores some of the key practical and ethical issues in using cr
 eative methods. Participants will be given a practical and hands-on intr
 oduction to a range of creative qualitative methods\, including various 
 visual methods and mobile methods.  The course will also cover key princ
 iples in qualitative data analysis\, and how these can be put into pract
 ice. Finally\, we discuss practical and intellectual strategies for writ
 ing with qualitative data\, and consider how it is possible to theorise\
 , or write conceptually\, with such data. The course includes several pr
 actical workshop exercises involving creating and analysing qualitative 
 data\, where participants will have the opportunity to work with their o
 wn data.\n\n	\nAs this course is expected to be very popular we are oper
 ating an application process. Details are below.\n\nThis course will:\n\
 n* Introduce students to creative methods both as an approach\, and as a
  means of generating social science research data\n* Introduce students 
 to a range of creative methods\n* Give students practical experience in 
 the use of creative methods\n* Introduce students to analytical strategi

 understanding of the basic principles of qualitative methods and to have
  some experience of qualitative data collection and analysis. Ideally\, 
 participants would be in the position of having their own qualitative da

 their own qualitative data (eg text or pictures that can be brought in h
